payback period
Explanation:
Zahn gives this as the English for Kapitalrückflussdauer, which I would appear to be synonynomous with Kapitalrückflusszeit. I think that "payback period" fits the bill here pretty well.

If you don't have a copy of Zahn, I really, really suggest you get one now. The new 5th edition hit the shops just a few weeks ago. It will contain many of the financial terms you'll ever need to look up.
